  2. Transition to school nurse

    scuba nurse replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

    Love it! Its a learning curve at first, but you catch on fast because you have to, you are THE only one there to make the decisions! But that being said, just read over the policies and check with us...

  3. Colgate classroom kits

    scuba nurse posted a topic in School

    FYI, here is the link for FREE toothbrushes and info for grades PK, K or 1. You get 25 toothbrushes and a DVD, and storybook (at least that is what I got last year). It takes a few months though, and...

  4. You know what grinds my gears?

    scuba nurse replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    When you are in a room and you go to leave and ask if they are all set for a bit, and they say YES, you walk out of the room down the hall and then they call you back! I was just there 2 seconds ago...

  5. Screenings Help

    scuba nurse replied to NurseHeatherBSNRN's topic in School

  7. Screenings

    scuba nurse replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    scuba nurse replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    We use SNAP, it is great! Though they just changed to "cloud based" and its been iffy some days, but its back on track now! Ours does talk with our other school programs so it is good in that

  12. Transition to School Nurse

    scuba nurse replied to KH_RN6's topic in School

    So, day to day varies in the type of school you are, the district you work for, and the students/medical needs at your school. No two days are the same! Some mornings can be crazy esp. at parent drop...

  13. Office inspiration

    I'm working summer school right now, so I am not in my own typical office, but some things are posters, I have a some health ones (like teeth brushing, hand washing...) but a lot of fun cute ones,...

  14. Debating leaving current job

    scuba nurse replied to mattsyd's topic in School

    So first, what happens if you break your contract? Just thinking of the consequences, if any. In terms of the pay, it is typically less (no charge pay, no shift differential, no OT), however, if you...

  15. Do I share my medical history as part of my story to become a nurse?

    scuba nurse replied to LeviY's topic in General Nursing

    NO WAY!! NEVER! Not even after being hired. They cant ask and you SHOULD NEVER divulge that info if you want a job, not even on the pre-employment physical. I wouldn't even bring it up to colleagues....

  16. Internal transfer help?

    Never. There is no need to or no reason why you need to sign with RN, unless it is specifically for work

  19. 8 interviews and no offer

    scuba nurse replied to Vana21's topic in School

    Try subbing, that is one way to get experience and to get in. Also, try bigger districts that employ more nurses, many school nurses stay for long periods of time because it is such a great job. Also,...

  21. Working with a fracture

    scuba nurse replied to Cgritz77's topic in General Nursing

    I would not interview for any jobs while in this condition. I would wait until surgery is over and you are almost done with the boot or whatever you will need post surgery. You want to put your best...
